When the car stopped, Leicestershire Police officer Hussain kissed her on the lips and later sent her a text saying: "It’s Matt, XX. Bell me tomorrow."

Later he came across two girls, aged 14 and 17, at 3.30am on July 16 last year.

He took them to McDonald’s before driving the younger one home, briefly talking to her mother, saying he was "Matt and he was a fireman," said Miss Herbert.

He had left the other girl in the car and returned, leaning into the back seat where he touched one of her thighs and a hand.

Her mobile phone was nearly flat and she asked to be taken home. He offered to get her a phone charger in exchange for a sexual favour. She refused but he carried out a sexual act on her, said Miss Herbert.

Moments later, he gave her "a lecture" saying she should not agree to a sex act if she did not want to take part, the court heard.

As she outlined the case at Nottingham Crown Court, Miss Herbert added: "This case is about a wolf in sheep’s clothing, about a vulnerable teenager who fell victim to the predatory behaviour of a man whose job is to help.

"This defendant is a serving police officer who went looking for sex with young girls.

"This is a man who had done a shift as a firearms officer, protecting the public, who had no intention of going home to his family that night."

When questioned by Notts police, he said they must have misheard his nickname 'Maj' and also misunderstood him when telling them he was "a firearms officer."

Hussain of Nottingham denies four charges of sexual assault on the 17-year-old girl near Stapleford.
